I agree, it's impossible to look at a country alone in a world economy.
Claiming that services like social media do not rely on higher consumption of raw materials is really far fetch. Good luck building growing a service like Facebook without:
- growing mobile phone market
- growing mobile network market
- growing internet access
- growing your servers behind it
- the energy consumption associated with it
It's quite easy to ignore facts when omitting that the majority of the supply chain and user base behind that is not located in the US.
I'm fairly confident that adding those numbers to those charts will give a different picture indeed
